OUR PILLARS

Our Four Pillars

NAWEC Health Centre
NAWEC’s Health Centre III was upgraded to level III during the pandemic period. COVID restrictions limited access to safe birthing facilities. Seeing this critical gap in women’s right to health, we launched a new maternity ward with support from our donors

Clinical outreaches
Clinical outreaches provide support to our partner health facilities and CHWs. The NAWEC team travels to hard-to-reach villages, taking clinical care into the field. NAWEC staff served almost 3,000 clients, conducted 1,018 cervical cancer screens, and assessed the nutrition of 976

Government Health Centers (Hcs)
Strengthening government health centres is the key to the sustainability of NAWEC’s community health approach. In 2020 we supported four facilities, provided 123 days of nursing support, trained 11 government clinicians, and conducted 15 meetings with health centre directors and government

Community Health Workers
Community Health Workers (CHWs) are NAWEC’s essential link to the communities in the Nama sub-county. Since the COVID lockdowns in May 2020, our cadre of 50 CHWs has registered 6,356 households, disseminated over 1,000 COVID-19 educational materials, and served 430
